Maymay comes into maturity

-

You have got to give it to Maymay Entrata.

You will at first dismiss her because the way she presents herself, she is kengkoy. She seems untamed and maybe too much for some people. Worse, she might seem to be someone who should not be taken seriously.

But in the media conference for the latest season of Click, Like, Share, one got the sense that Maymay has somehow matured. She was deliberate in her answers. She opened up how she has become more serious about national issues, which is why she wants to use her influence to urge people to register to vote in the upcoming elections. Even a curveball issue raised by the media, such as her supposed gap with fellow Pinoy Big Brother alumnae Kisses Delavin and the latter’s joining in a beauty contest, she answered with grace and aplomb, saying that Kisses once revealed to her that the latter’s dream was to become a beauty queen, adding that she is just there to support Kisses even if they are no longer in touch.

Maymay also revealed that at first she was hesitant to take on roles out of her comfort zone, such as the one she landed for Click, Like, Share. The show is smart, but sometimes dark yet filled with black humor, showing the catastroph­ic consequenc­es of cruel behavior on social media. Think of it like a local but more wholesome version of Black Mirror. Anyway, in Maymay’s installmen­t, titled “Lurker,” she plays hardworkin­g waitress Beng who will suffer the dangers of oversharin­g on social media. After a rich online influencer named Trish (Michelle Vito) embarrasse­s her at work, Beng seeks revenge by lurking on Trish’s social-media accounts in an evil attempt to ruin her life.

This role, she revealed in the media conference, is really something that challenged her. In the past, she would have typically begged off, but this time she said that challengin­g yourself is something that she has totally embraced. After all, this is how one can grow up and learn more things.

Maymay is only one of the many cast members of the second season of Click, Like, Share (the first one starred the Gold Squad Andrea Brillantes, Francine Diaz, Kyle Echerri and Seth Fedelin). Joining her in their own featured episodes are Janella Salvador, Tony Labrusca, Barbie Imperial and Jerome Ponce. The new episodes are currently streaming on iwanttfc two days before they air on before they play on the Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and A2Z every Sunday at 8:30 pm.

The new episodes of Click, Like, Share also star Mutya Orquia, Louise Abuel, Sherry Lara, Franco Daza, Paolo Gumabao, Kate Alejandrin­o, Malou Crisologo and Renz Aguilar. The series is directed by Emmanuel Q. Palo and produced by iwanttfc and ABS-CBN Entertainm­ent, in associatio­n with Dreamscape Entertainm­ent and Kreativ Den.
